Tru struggles to stay awake in the Taxi cab. She only got 6 hours of sleep last night. Obviously not enough. She slowly began to fall to the side and slowly shut her eyes but then the cab driver slammed on their brakes. They were at the morgue. Tru slammed her head on the front seat in front of her. she yellped a little bit. She looked in the rear view mirror.
She was fine.
"Thanks..." Tru dug through her wallet. "Here's ten. Keep the change."
Tru walked out and went through the door to upstairs. Where they kept all of the magazines.
She went to the back part where they kept almost everything that was boring. They kept the magazines on a rack. She kept looking and skimming. She finaly found it and headed down the stairs. She checked it out and headed back for the Morgue. She couldn't find a cab that didn't already have someone in it so she kept on walking. She glared at the time when she reached the morgue. 12:25pm. She walked inside and down stairs.
Tru called for Davis. No answer. She looked around and found a note.
Hey Tru,
Like I said I had that doctor appointment. I had someone pick me up. I'll be back in an hour or two.
Davis
"Hm... Well here's your magazine. I'm outta here. Oh wait...Harris. I better call him." Tru takes out her phone and calls Harris.
"Hey Harris it's Tru."
"Oh hey. Sorry I couldn't make it, I had a... prior engament." He said this very inconvicingly. Tru didn't buy it for a second.
"Wow. Prior engament? Or big, dumb lie?" Tru was very demanding.
"Alright fine. I was in the middle of this really big bet and I needed something for colateral. I had to use that damn dog. It was a sure bet. I knew I would win. But...I lost. So now if I don't come out of the locked bathroom with the 'damn dog', they will rip me a new hole."
"Damnit Harris. You said you were clean."
"Well things change. It was a sure thing. I think he cheated!" Harris chuckled trying to make this sound less of a big deal than it was.
"Did you call the cops?" Tru asked thinking it was a way out.
"Oh yeah! Call the cops. That'll solve everything. Not only will they throw me in jail for illegal gambling but they will also fine me for using an animal of the state as colateral."
"Don't worry I'll come get you. Where ar-". Suddenly Tru's cell gave out again. "What? Hello? Harris? Ugh, so much for automatic recharge."She put her phone away.
"Yeah they are a pust, aren't they?" Questioned a voice behind her.
Tru swung around to see Jack. She was so shocked to see him. Also a little scared too.
"Jack." Tru was really surprised to see him.
